His first big break came in September 10, 2005, when he knocked out Felix Flores in an eighth round bout at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
In The World Awaits undercard, Bautista gained the #1 contendership for the WBO Super Bantamweight title when he won in a unanimous decision against Sergio Manuel Medina. Despite giving Medina a knockdown, he too suffered a knockdown from the Argentinian opponent.
